It's been at least five days from my last post, and a lot has happened. So Monday July 1 my neurosurgeons office called asking me to have my surgery on the 3rd instead of the 12th. The nurse said the doc was really worried and he normally isn't ever like that. So I took it as I better get it done.

As the day went my hands, yes both, we're tingling. My hernieation is on the right side...

In march 2012 six years after my last broken ankle I sprained my ankle bad enough I thought it was broken, scared me to the core! All was well within a few days of ice and elevation.
